From the reviews
I thought I’d come on here and leave a review since I see some one stars that are clearly from people that are extremely bitter and want to drag down an amazing business/gym. To say Aaron doesn’t pay attention to his students or doesn’t care is an absolute lie!
I’ve attended this gym on and off over the course of many years from young child in Karate class to the Mma classes and whenever I go I’m always welcomed and treated with respect. Coach Aaron Reis is a great instructor who knows exactly what he is doing. He help each student when they are struggling to do a move.
My wife and I enrolled our daughter in classes several years ago, but it was my wife that ended up falling in love with the sport. In that time she has happier and healthier than I have seen in 11 years. The quality of instruction can't be matched.
I'm pretty new at Fusion but so far it's been a really cool experience. I was, and still am to some degree, a bit overwhelmed at how much there is to learn (and how bad I am as a beginner lol). Sometimes it seems like such a long road to competence, especially for someone starting the journey well into adulthood.
New to BJJ? Start at Fusion MMA & Jiu Jitsu
Fusion MMA & Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Fusion MMA & Jiu Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
